“Monika was wonderful to work with, and our kitty, Macho, seemed to really love her! We're so grateful she was there to give him attention and ensure he had everything he needed while we were away.”

“Kayla was awesome sauce once again! I requested her to take care of kitty on short notice and she came through. We appreciated her flexibility and the quality care she provided for Mila. I can tell she has got love for her, and that brings peace of mind😻. She also followed all my instructions and that was super helpful when I got home. Thanks for your A+ service Kayla, we will keep in contact… especially for our next vacation👍😎”

“Rylan has been very easy to work with, she agreed to meet and greet quickly and was available right away, which was much appreciated. We will definitely be using her again in the future!”

“Andria's care for my two little kitties went far and beyond my expectations. First time I've used a pet sitter and first time my kitties have been left alone. Love that Andria started with Rover as a pet parent before she began as a pet sitter. Boy, does she "speak cat!" I did not know she'd be sending pictures (many!) and she knew exactly what to report to keep me as a cat parent in the loop and calm. Over the course of 8 days she made fast friends with my kitties and followed my instructions perfectly! You will be well pleased if you choose Andria as your pet sitter.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs (my family has four rescue poodles - two standards, one miniature, and one shorkipoo) and have ample experience dog-sitting and fostering as well. I also have experience dog-walking, ranging from high-energy and reactive dogs, to slower, older dogs and those with disabilities. I currently work an 8-4 full time job, but have availability on the evenings and weekends. Sometimes I work from home on Fridays as well. I frequently go on walks and would love to have your pup join me! My apartment complex is dog-friendly and I live in a spacious unit. There are tons of walking trails as well as a fenced-in dog park.
About: From a young age, animals have always been my greatest joy. I’ve had the pleasure of caring for countless dogs, cats, and even off track racehorses, which has taught me the importance of understanding each pet’s unique needs. I specialize in providing compassionate, individualized care for pets of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I tailor my services to make sure your pet’s needs are met in the most loving way possible. Currently, I share my life with a sensitive and timid lab mix who, like all pets, requires patience, empathy, and understanding. If your dog or cat needs that extra bit of care and attention, whether they are reactive, nervous, or simply need a little more TLC, I am here to help! I believe every pet deserves the care and respect I give my own, so you can rest easy knowing your pet is in good hands. Services I Offer: Dog Walking & Adventures: From high energy pups who need engaging walks and mental stimulation to senior dogs who prefer leisurely strolls and quality time sniffing around, I offer a customized approach based on your dog’s personality. Cat Care: Whether your cat is a curious explorer or a cuddle champion, I provide engaging play and / or simply a peaceful environment while you're away. Drop In Visits: Care customized to you and your pet while you're away. I am happy to stick to whatever routine you already have in place for them. *I do not currently offer boarding services as my apartment is very strict about pets. (And my own pup is not a huge fan of visitors!) I take my responsibility seriously and ensure your pet is treated with love, respect, and top notch care - just as I would treat my own. Whether you’re away for a day or an extended trip, I’ll make sure you have peace of mind knowing your pet is in loving hands. Availability: I am available Friday afternoons, and any time most Saturdays and Sundays. If you require some weekday evenings, feel free to reach out and we can set something up that works for both of us. Let’s set up a meet and greet so I can learn more about your pet’s personality and needs. I look forward to providing a safe, nurturing, and fun experience for your well loved pet(s)! I am available after 1:00pm on Fridays, and any time on most Saturdays and Sundays. I am usually available on holidays as well as some nights Monday through Thursday. Let me know what you’re looking for and we can work something out together. Your pet(s) safety and happiness is my top priority. I work hard to ensure their needs are met, which looks different for all animals. I’m happy to send text and photo updates so you have peace of mind they’re in good hands while you’re away. Currently, I do not offer in home pet services as my apartment has strict pet guidelines. I am happy to continue to care for your animal in your home with their usual routine.
“Julia is absolutely wonderful! She always communicates so well through texting and photos. It is so comforting to know that when we are away, that are two cats are being well-taken care of by Julia! 🙂”

“Valerie is so thorough & is teaching my dog great habits! She always leaves him treats and new toys & is thoughtful about what our puppy enjoys. You will not be disappointed hiring her!”

“Tracy was absolutely delightful! During our initial visit she was very thorough - taking notes on personality and play habits along with the basics of care. By the end of the visit I felt like we were old friends. I loved the videos of our cats. They're skittish and seemed much more at ease with her than I expected for the first time having her watch them. I very much look forward to working with her in the future! Thank you Tracy!! 💖”

“Jessica is amazing with my boys! They adore her and she’s loving and plays with them while keeping them safe! She’s always on time very respectful and highly communicative. I would trust her for walks, and both short and long-term visits”

“Jenny is an exceptional pet sitter who went above and beyond in caring for my cat, Louie. Her attention to detail and genuine love for animals was evident from the moment she started. She sent updates with photos of Louie, showing him looking happy and content. Not only did Jenny follow Louie's feeding schedule meticulously, but she also spent quality time playing with him and giving him the attention he needs. She noticed his favorite spots around the house and made sure to give him scratches and pets just where he likes them. What impressed me most was her conscientiousness. She kept the litter box impeccably clean and even noticed when Louie was being a bit shy and knew exactly how to coax him out with his favorite toys. She left detailed notes about his daily activities, eating habits, and general mood. I returned home to find a happy, well-cared-for cat who clearly had been given lots of love and attention. Jenny's professional yet caring approach gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I would highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and loving pet sitter. She's truly a gem!”

About: I've taken care of dogs from puppies to seniors. I can help with basic training and manners, as well as lots of "walkies" and couch time! Whatever your fur baby prefers, they will be loved by my family and I. I currently work from home, so I am available to your babies 'round the clock. If they need to be let out at specific times or take timely medications, I am available for that as well! I have a fenced yard with a very friendly male, beagle mix to keep your dogs company. I can also crate or separate easily if necessary! I can come to take them for a walk or let them out, no matter the Minnesota weather! I can provide pictures/videos, and updates as often as you'd like. They will be loved by family and I, and treated like one of our pack!
About: Hi, I’m Ali. I am a mom of 2 boys & one dog named Tommy. We live right outside of Stillwater on a beautiful 10 acre lot. I am very passionate about pets, especially dogs. I have grown up my whole life with dogs & do some fostering for Cocos Heart Dog Rescue! I would love to be a companion for your pet during the day to ensure they get the exercise they deserve!

I currently work remotely from home and would be able to take requests most times throughout the day, except for evenings (with the exception if communicated early enough) We have a 10 acre lot and are constantly outside. I make sure clients pets are on a leash while outside with us at all times unless specified by the owner. Clients pets are welcome on the furniture if they currently do that at their own homes, but I mindfully respect boundaries that clients provide.
